ANZAC Day 2014

It is ANZAC Day today. Today marks 99 years since the ANZAC's came to the Gallipoli Shores. Today we will remember the Australian and New Zealand soldiers that have fallen, fought and served for their country. Today we show respect to those brave soldiers. Today on this day, we will remember them. Thousands of NZers have turned up to Dawn Services. More than 3,000 people came to a Dawn Service in Auckland Domain, and hundreds ofCantabriansgathered in Cranmer Square. Ode of Remembrance:They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morning,We will remember them.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today also marks my uncle's birthday, who turns 22 today.

Now, I mentioned in a TIL not long ago that I had been going to Level One History as an additional class. I felt like I should've taken the opportunity of having History as an extra subject since it would give me something to wake up early for - because last year I had many days where I came late. And there's not a day gone by where I've come to school past 9:00am. I mean, it's working, reader!

Anyway, for History the class focused on the Dawn Raids that happened in New Zealand during the 1970s and part of the 1980s. Then, after reading and discussing and going through lessons about the Dawn Raids and its effects and consequences, we were introduced the first assignment of the year. The main part of the assignment was to provide two perspectives of two different people clearly showing whether they were for or against the Dawn Raid policy. Now, if you've been reading this blog during 2015, you'll find that one of the p…

Near the high mountains in the morning, I see a market close by. Blues tents are set up as many people scramble around the market to find and buy lots of food. Caravans parked up nearly block one side of the market. I can smell the gas, even though the vans were off.

The voices in the market are calm, as many people buy tonnes of many food items. The smell some barbecue food were served to the people behind me. I see people just standing around, looking at the many choices of food. Nearly everyone waited in patience as the food are sold to others. Some got lost, not finding the tent or food they were looking for.

The fresh air coming from the trees also made me calm. Sun rays came down on me, making me thirsty. I smell others with body sweat on their heads and more people getting lost, so they went to the people who sell food for directions. I wanted to rest under a shade, like the trees or the tents. After a day in the markets, it was done, every one packed their tents and stuff. Crow…

"WILLY"

About Me

Hi! My name is Willy and I'm currently a Year 10 student at Edgewater College. I attended Tamaki Primary from 2010-2015, began this blog in 2012, and have documented my digital learning journey from 2012 to now. It's been five years since I began posting on this blog.

Now, my picture above is actually Abraham B, my alter ego I created in 2015. That is because I'm going to "be him" (kinda, it's not like method acting, just applying his mannerisms and ways to my daily routine) throughout the month of May as an experiment of some sort, to see if I become more, I don't know...like Abraham.

I change the blog from time to time, so I do seek some feedback and feedforward, and the same goes with my posts. Any FF and FB is much appreciated!
